Advanced (Recording pictures)
This allows you to take pictures of a person
and the background with near real-life
brightness.
∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Open the flash when [NIGHT PORTRAIT]
is selected.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer
for taking pictures.
• When [NIGHT PORTRAIT] is selected, keep
the subject still for about 1 second after
taking the picture.
• When [NIGHT PORTRAIT] is selected, we
recommend rotating the zoom lever to Wide
(1k) and being about 1.5 m from the subject
when taking a picture.
• The range in which the focus is adjusted is
shown below.
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT]: 1.2 m to 5 m
– [NIGHT SCENERY]/[CREATIVE NIGHT
SCENERY]/[ILLUMINATIONS]: 5 m to ¶
(For information on the available flash range,
see P52.)
• The shutter may remain closed (max. about
8 sec.) after taking the picture because of
signal processing. This is not a malfunction.
• Noise may become visible when you take
pictures in dark places.
• The flash cannot be set for settings except
for [NIGHT PORTRAIT].
• When [NIGHT PORTRAIT] is selected, the
flash settings become Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction [ ], and the flash is activated
every time.
• When [NIGHT SCENERY] or [CREATIVE
NIGHT SCENERY] is selected,
[SENSITIVITY] is fixed to [ISO100].
• The continuous AF setting is disabled.
• The white balance cannot be set.
• When [NIGHT PORTRAIT] is selected, the
initial setting for [AF MODE] is [ ].
